Well, the answer couldn’t be simpler – there’s a 1,200-space seven-storey car park opening right next to the new hospital.

The new Alder Hey will be unveiled to the world on Thursday, followed by a five-day transfer period while patients and equipment are moved across the road into the new building.

The new car park is accessible from East Prescot Road and parking will continue to cost £2 for 24 hours. There were be 66 disabled parking spaces in the new car park.

The hospital said in a statement: “There is a multi-storey car park with 1,200 spaces which can be accessed from East Prescot Road. There are disabled parking bays on all floors and lifts in the car park take visitors straight to the main entrance.”

The postcode of the new car park, for anyone travelling by sat-nav, is L14 5AB.

Taxi ranks and bus stops will also be located outside the hospital on East Prescot Road.
